Fantasia seems to be in one...

Fantasia seems to be in one of its "up" cycles. I had a couple of good visits during the month of September, both on Thursdays, but one was afternoon/early evening and the other was later in the evening. In both cases, the quality of dancers was as good as I've seen on Thursdays, and much better than what was passing for "talent" earlier in the summer. Many slim, young natural hotties with a variety of ethnic origins (no Asian that I have seen, but most everything else), as well as a few less attractive ones. And with the right dancer (and a higher percentage of the current stable seems to be "right" than at times in the past) an exceptional private dance for a very reasonable tip (compared to other places in the strip club universe) can be had. Most of the girls said business has been slow lately, but for the most part they weren't too whiny about it. As any experienced negotiator knows, when demand is down it's a buyers market. The "right" dancers will negotiate what both parties should expect from the experience before heading upstairs. Treat them with respect and they'll cut you a little slack. Avoid the ones who won't discuss particulars, as you will either pay a tip that could have got you much farther with the "right" girl, or you will pay way too much for anything else if it is available at all.

There are a couple of dancers who seem to think if you have ever taken them up for a VIP before that you are automatically "their" regular. I had one sit down next to me (without asking) almost as soon as I sat down myself. While I enjoy her company as well as her dances, I was looking for someone different that particular visit. I did buy her a drink shortly after she sat down, since I was still trying to see who was there that night, but didn't buy any others. After sitting with me almost every minute she wasn't on stage (presumably to keep other dancers away) she got rather upset when I made it clear she was not my choice for my VIP visit that night. Even though I had VIP'ed her the previous visit, she accused me of dancing with three other girls (I've never had dances with more than two girls on any single visit to Fantasia, but so what if I had?) and not her that time, until I reminded her of an event that occurred as we were leaving the VIP room to head back downstairs. She then conceded she had danced for me on my last visit, but still walked off in a huff. If she had asked about a dance at ANY time while she was sitting with me I would have replied that I wanted to keep my options open that night. The whole point of a strip club is variety isn't it? And even if you have a "most favorite", a little healthy competition between several of your "favorites" will keep them all vying for your business.
